Haha yeah that would be a bit tedious. We have a bit of that in English too but there are very few gendered nouns left in the language (it did have them at one point though). Things like waiter and waitress or steward and stewardess are being replaced with server and attendant. We don't have to worry about changing the articles though because the words are treated the same grammatically and they don't need to declined.

Very true. That seems to be way that it is going everywhere.
